We wish to publicly acknowledge and thank all those who responded to our recent letter requesting donations to the museum fund. Thanks to your generosity, we have completed the move to the new space and are currently having Museum cases built and collecting exhibit items. We hope to open this September. Stay tuned.
Thank you, friends! We could not have done this without you!

Gathering the materials ... First interviews and photos for the museum archives, recorded at Grey Dog Trading's inaugural show with Loren Tsalabutie and his mom Sherdine Tsattie. Professional journalists and museum volunteers Stephen Goode and Rick Kozak did the honors.
People keep asking: where is the new shop and museum? THIS is where. This is the entrance to Old Town from the Albuquerque Museum parking lot. Our place is the first building on the right, where the rose is in bloom. The rear of our building abuts the Old Town parking lot (entrance beside Hacienda restaurant). Plenty of accessible parking! And it's almost ready for the move!
PROGRESS! The museum building is getting close to completion. We are still on track to be open this August.
GROUNDBREAKING! On Saturday, February 3, 2018, we officially broke ground for the Zuni Fetish Museum. After the asphalt was cleared, Mr. Kenny Bowekaty from Zuni blessed the ground where the museum will stand. Photos show: the site (with Kent waving from the future front door location); board members in attendance (Sloan Cunningham, Jane Helton, Steve Goode); and the board members with directors Kent McManis and Yvonne Stokes, and Mr. Bowekaty.
Opening 2018, in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico, dedicated to the exhibition and study of Zuni fetishes, the art, history, and culture.
Grey Dog Trading is pleased to announce the formation of the Zuni Fetish Museum to open 2018 in Old Town, Albuquerque, NM. The Museum will showcase historic and contemporary Zuni fetishes with both permanent and changing exhibits. Its goal will be to expand the knowledge of this wonderful Native American art form, and in part to differentiate real Zuni fetishes from copies made by others. All Zuni people will have free admission to the Museum so they may see the works of their ancestors and contemporaries.
To our knowledge, this will be the only museum anywhere devoted to a single Native American art form.
We soon will have information about membership opportunities, as well as how monetary and item donations may be made. Watch this page for continued updates about this exciting project.
